Ye Lan has been idle these days, and a new wave of tea buds has started again, although she herself does not recommend making summer tea, but after all, she is not a shopkeeper, and if the tea farmer wants to make money, she has to make money even more.

Since Liu Zixi continued to go to Qin Zhiyuan's house to take classes, Ye Lan would take Liu Ziming with him every time he went to work, and he was not noisy or noisy, where Ye Lan was, he would sit obediently.

Sister-in-law Zhou took the fruit for him to eat, and then he stretched out his hand and put it down, shaking his head: "I don't want it." ”

Ye Lan looked at him gently: "The fruit made by Sister-in-law Zhou is delicious." ”

He then reached out and took it, and thanked him politely.

Sister-in-law Zhou said happily: "This child is really well-behaved, why didn't you bring it earlier." ”

Ye Lan just smiled and didn't speak.

Waiting for Zhou's sister-in-law to leave, Ye Lan asked Liu Ziming: "Is the fruit delicious?" ”

Liu Ziming nodded, he had never eaten such a delicious fruit.

"Then why didn't the aunt give it to you at the beginning?"

Liu Ziming's little face was a little nervous, "Mother, I will be obedient." ”

Ye Lan choked in her throat, and just said, "Silly boy." ”

Liu Ziming was still wearing his brother's clothes, Ye Lan was busy early this day, and said that she would take him out to buy a few clothes, he touched his clothes with his little hand and shook his head: "No need mother, this dress is very good." ”

"It's so much bigger, and it's all old clothes, let's not be wronged now that we have the conditions to wear clothes that fit." Ye Lan touched his head.

Liu Ziming looked a little restrained, and said in a sullen voice: "Okay, listen to my mother." ”

Ye Lan was worried that he would be tired after walking a long distance, so she rented a donkey to carry him, and Liu Ziming sat on the back of the donkey, his little hands clenched tightly, and his palms were sweaty.

Ye Lan instructed: "Hold on and don't fall." ”

He looked down at his mother, his mother was very good-looking, better than those noble ladies, he used to think that his mother must be a very ugly woman.

"Mother, I have a home, don't I?"

He suddenly spoke, Ye Lan's pace slowed down unconsciously, and smiled softly at him: "Yes, Ziming has a family, a brother, and a mother, and our family will never be separated in the future." ”

Getting along with Liu Ziming, Ye Lan will be gentler unconsciously, unlike with Liu Zixi, she has to always remind herself that she is his mother.

"Mother, I will do anything."

Ye Lan wanted to ask you what you could do when you were so old, but she suddenly reacted, and her heart was sour: "Ziming is so powerful, but you are so young, your mother is reluctant to let you do anything, you just eat and sleep well, and the mother who is happy every day will be happy." ”

"Mother, you're so nice."

He has a mouthful, Ye Lan has long been used to it.

When changing Liu Ziming's clothes, Ye Lan saw his skinny little body, this child is very sensible, she has always said what she says, and she doesn't say much, let alone what he has suffered over the years.

But this caution inexplicably made Ye Lan sad.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

When the mother and son went home, it was a little dark, Liu Zixi cooked the meal, Liu Ziming ran forward with a smile and hugged his brother: "Today, my mother bought me a lot of new clothes, I'm so happy." ”

Liu Zixi glanced at Ye Lan, then took his brother's hand and said, "Put your clothes in the house, go wash your hands and eat." ”

Liu Ziming nodded: "My mother said that you should wash your hands before eating every time, I remember it." ”

Then he ran away with joy.

Liu Zixi was serving dinner, and Ye Lan deliberately said: "I only bought clothes for my brother, I didn't buy them for you, are you angry?" ”

Liu Zixi was stunned, "I didn't." ”

He's not a child.

"Tell me, how long has it been since you gave me a smile?"

Liu Zixi continued to serve the meal with his head bored, Ye Lan looked at the meat and vegetables on the table, and said with satisfaction: "For the sake of you being obedient, I won't bother with you." ”

Liu Zixi used to cook, but he didn't have any meat at all.

Liu Zixi pursed his lips, his mother was not like a mother before, and now although his mother has changed, she is not like a mother, but ...... He actually thinks that his mother is looking very good now.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and forced out a smile, Ye Lan almost sprayed rice, and waved his hand: "Don't force yourself, you can just feel free." ”

After eating, Ye Lan began to wander around the yard, because she found that she was actually fat!

The predecessor was a very self-disciplined person, but Ye Lan was not, at the beginning, the body would have a natural reaction, and she would wake up at the same time, and Ye Lan was also very busy at that time.

But since she was idle, she began to sleep lazy, ate a lot and was inactive, and her face was round to the naked eye.

"I'm really not a big person."

"Mother, what are you doing?" Liu Ziming also ran over and followed Ye Lan to stretch, lower his waist, and jump.

"Ziming, you are still young, you need to grow more meat, you don't have to jump with your mother."

"Doesn't my mother have to grow meat?"

"Mother's meat is enough."

"Mother is not fat."

Liu Zixi was reading a book, looking at the big and small figures outside through the window, and couldn't help but raise his lips.

Liu Ziming now sleeps in a room with his brother, and before going to bed, he took out the clothes that his mother bought during the day and handed one of them to his brother.

"Brother, my mother bought this for you."

Liu Zixi was a little stunned, then stretched out his hand to take it, and heard his younger brother say: "Mother is so good." ”

He also nodded, "yes." ”

"Brother...... Can you give me clothes you can't wear? Liu Ziming's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed.

Liu Zixi didn't care and said, "Naturally, but didn't my mother buy you so many new clothes?" ”

"I don't want to wear it for fear of getting dirty."

Although Liu Zixi wears mostly old clothes on weekdays, he still said to his younger brother: "Ziming, my mother bought you so many new clothes, if you don't wear your mother, you will be sad, she will think that you don't like the clothes she bought." ”

Liu Ziming's smiling face suddenly became nervous, "Then I'll wear it, I don't dislike the clothes my mother bought." ”

……

On the day of Liu Zixi's father's death, their group hired an ox cart to go to the mountains in the western suburbs.

When his father died of illness, Liu Zixi was only six years old, but Ye Lan could feel that he had a deep affection for his father, and when he went to worship, Ye Lan didn't dare to speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing and provoking Liu Zixi's nerves.

However, she still said silently in her heart: "You and Zixi and his mother should meet underground, don't worry, I will take good care of your two children in the future." ”

Liu Ziming didn't have any feelings for his father, but when he saw his brother crying sadly, he couldn't help shedding tears, Ye Lan watched them kneel down and kowtow three times.

Suddenly startled, and glanced back suddenly, Qin Zhiyuan asked beside her, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Lan shook her head: "It's okay, maybe I read it wrong." ”

Along the way, she always felt stared at, and she saw a figure in a trance out of the corner of her eye, but she turned her head to see nothing.

This wilderness is still in the cemetery...... It's mad to think about.

"Let's go, it's a long way down the mountain, and it's dark when we go home."
